Taylor's POV
85Please respect copyright.PENANAGTBglPR4a0
I'm pretty sure I've started something. I shouldn't have but I had to be honest with Jay. I did bad and I owned up.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAQCU2wUzPyM
I glance at Jay who is seated next to me, head in his hands. Bag on the floor by his feet which he hasn't moved.
I stroke his arm, he's wearing his pale blue shirt, leather jacket over the top which tells me he came here on his motorbike.
I've decided I'm going home tonight, but just how I'm unsure, I can't imagine riding on the back of his bike. Pregnant.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAjwDtTHkIJQ
I pinch my eyes closed and cry. Forgetting I'm in a room with everybody.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAPaKUPLSCKG
"Taylor" Rach says concerned.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAJbMatORRp8
Matty is asleep and has been for two hours. I've clock watched. Tracking his monitor and watching his chest rise and fall.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAqPOBzth4a4
"Let's have a walk" she adds standing up. Pulling on her jacket swishing her hair back and marching me to the door.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAVlkUNFqmD9
"Taylor" Jay says, softly and I turn around.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAHZvh3h34U4
"I love you" he says and I hug him.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA8noP5qHOTR
"Love you too" I whisper in his ear.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAtpqrebiKAj
"We can get through this" he whispers back.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA1MKQAukcfP
"Mmhmm" I sob.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAgXmehaEO6J
"I wanna go home" I say and I feel like a little child, kind of pathetic and needy.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAREWLwFnDqR
"I'll go grab the car I just assumed, pjs and all that you would stay" he says softly and I cry.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA9f5r5x89EV
"Don't leave me here again." I say.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA4LJf0sDOE9
"Tay" Rach demands.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAIAku0cRWrd
"I'll go get the mini I'll be twenty minutes" he smiles kissing my lips.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAtPZLYmJZVJ
"Okay" I say softly and I kiss him again.
He kisses me with urgency, my body feels like it's on fire and my tears melt away.
85Please respect copyright.PENANADoZ3K9bt02
"20 minutes" he says.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA0LbneSae5m
I head out with Rachel and we walk down to the food court, deciding to buy some dinner for Matty and everybody else.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAIbX1YuXMKL
I notice Rach now carries herself with far more elegance than before, she's still wearing a bright pink fluffy coat but now there's an air of confidence and sophistication in her stride. She sets her gaze on sushi and we head on over to the counter.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAmFBtaymUgR
"This is tough" she says looking down at her food, the takeaway in a separate bag.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAdnaAEj5i7H
I grabbed a burger, raw fish is a no. She eyed me but there's more on her mind than my appetite.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAsMWYEfzunR
"I kissed Ross" I say just coming out with it.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAwK9CsNAXLE
"You what" she laughs.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAhEG1ZyXi9N
"I kissed Ross, he was crying last night and hugging me. He kissed my neck and I full on kissed him" I say then I bite into my burger.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAh9cjBJUcAe
She just stares at me, if she could have her mouth hanging open she would but we're eating.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAghYfMdGxh5
"You and Jay are endgame. I love Ross but you were sad, he was sad. Full stop, have you told Jay" she says.
85Please respect copyright.PENANABlYGeFlXFB
"Of course" I say.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAnrFov0syYH
"Okay fuck" she replies.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAdWORObqZDj
"He said the same as you, but he's been acting weird" I say confused.
85Please respect copyright.PENANASzVqb6iYPx
"Jay Gilbert Scott just forgave you" she exclaims.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAq81OFeI3Sz
"He fucking loves you" she laughs.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAcVJP6mXBLx
"I love him, I don't know why I did it, it's just it's my fault, with Matty. Plus I don't ever want Ross to..." I say and it's all garbled.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAxiXdoGgo2b
"Matty is not your fault" she says.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA8PT3tRAIaL
"I told Matty I don't ever want him and then this happened. Ross found him"
I say crying.
"Matty had invited me to London, and I told him no" I add.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAVIZY2ksld4
"You're with Jay of course you said no, he had no reason to suspect you would go, don't put this on yourself" she says.
85Please respect copyright.PENANARyvZ8MdTrp
"Granted you shouldn't kiss Ross but hey it was emotional for both of you" she says. Stellar advice from Rach for once.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA5wBgM1oJdk
"I feel awful" I admit.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAdaSgmtARUQ
"I'm going home tonight. I need a bed" I say lightly, wanting to make this whole situation go away.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAvHjysXixn6
"I'll keep an eye on Ross" she smiles.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAkGFayjnRUF
"Easy on the eye as he is I'm sure it won't be too hard" she laughs.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAQ60BHN2n0A
"He's a great kisser" I laugh.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAf782YzeEuh
"But Jay sends me places." I say laughing.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA0xVcqikF1v
"Jay loves you" she says.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAjXkO67weRJ
"I never thought I'd say it, because he's been an asshole since I met him. But now I can see it, he loves you" she says sincerely.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAxH84XmYubN
"Thanks Rach" I say almost spilling all the secrets by telling her I'm having his baby.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA2p4ov6NkXC
Promptly I stand and we head back up to the ward. Whilst we're walking through the hospital I hear the babies crying and I glance into the maternity ward.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6Kir4LZak
Rachel hurries along in her pink coat uninterested in me. Nate is on his way to pick her up and will be meeting us in the room. I consider asking Jay if he wants to start shopping for baby stuff, but perhaps it's just a touch too soon.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAbirIdZ2zbs
Rach pokes her head around the door first and hands Matty the sushi he thanks her watching me all the while. I smile at him reassuringly.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAn7mqqdoSCY
I hand Ross some sushi and take a seat. He glances up at me and thanks me. His puppy dog eyes looking me up and down. Assessing the situation he decides to just eat quietly.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAwQbBhnXRBH
"Silly question, but how are you feeling" I ask Matty softly.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAGcL9wdMN69
"I'm surprisingly okay. Hoping they'll let me out tomorrow" he says.
85Please respect copyright.PENANASAlu6bwBTt
"It's not a rush, you need to be 100 percent" I comment softly.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAysvPSRYyza
"I know" he says softly looking at me. Something about the look in his eyes pulls me in, and I'm standing up pacing over to him. Stroking his hair and checking he's okay.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAM9TTqUnTih
"Now enjoy your sushi, stop worrying" I smile down at him.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAz13JqUoYEj
I take a seat and check the clock, it's 5pm now. Just as I gaze down from the time the door opens and there's Jay. Slightly windswept and absolutely breathtaking. Still in his pale blue shirt but with the sleeves rolled up and his leather jacket in his hands now instead. His eyes lock onto me and I smile.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAUoVJw4Zots
He takes the seat next to me and I hand him some sushi.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAstncfvHn0l
"Thanks" he smiles.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAc8nVXWow4e
"I had a burger" I say to him.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAELvRrQZPgc
He nods and I can tell he is yearning to caress my waist. We haven’t told anybody, apart from Ross when I alluded to it and he guessed in the car.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAJVBO3C6E7s
“Everything okay at the house” I ask softly.
85Please respect copyright.PENANA1GyqrSMSLY
“Just fine. Don’t worry. I’ve unpacked too” he says looking at me smiling.
85Please respect copyright.PENANALJnG8Vf8xV
“Ah how is the new place” Rachel smiles pulling her coat off. Nate hasn’t arrived just yet.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAf4S9kQkqB0
Not wishing to brag around Matty in a hospital bed, I pull my phone out and show her a snap I took of myself and Jay in our new bedroom. Before we got naked of course.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAV0N20dDmOr
“Jeez” she sighs.
85Please respect copyright.PENANALNFEQdOuuK
I pocket my phone again and stare at Matty. He hasn’t eaten much and is falling asleep again. I check the clock, the monitor and his levels.
85Please respect copyright.PENANApSR7SGlFSo
Glancing at Jay I realise he has finished his sushi and I take it as a sign to get out for a while and enjoy the comfort of a proper bed.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAP4EUM6zt37
I stand and face Matty, stroke his hair back.
“I’ll see you in the morning, have a good rest” I say softly.
85Please respect copyright.PENANAH2X2Ia1iNh
And then we leave. Walking out I fight the urge to walk back in and check on his monitor. Instead I place one foot in front of the other, Jay by my side and head for the exit.
